Lets see you on your bike!

[Thistle]

ok, here is the only photo i have of me on a bike (second from left) . explanation - one of our group likes to wear headgear on her helmet to celebrate festivities... we wore reindeer ears at xmas and bunny ears at easter! We look a bit dorky, but the plus side was lots of kids got very excited when they saw us, so next year we are going to carry easter eggs to give out to the kids.

ps hope this works.. now i know why others say that!

Mary,
I love your Halloween outfit! Thanks for the great idea!!

I LOVE all these pictures and it's great to be able to put faces to names!

I don't have a picture of me riding my bike but this picture is just before I left on my first ride on the new road bike. Hope I do this right.

Here are some of me. If I've attached correctly.

I posted this one a while ago, but I haven't really taken any more recent pictures.

This really scares me. I'm such a fair-weather cyclist. I've ridden roads in Alaska & NZ with snow, but nothing like this. You're a complete and total stud in my book (or just crazy). Wow!

OK, I'll play too.

Here's Walter (he's a Raleigh) and me. We were rounding the corner into the parking lot after a 34-or-so mile ride a couple years ago.



This is William and me at the turn-around of our July 4 ride this year.



On the trail on the same ride. This is really all that DH sees of me.



I think these pictures put to rest the silly notion that fat ladies can't ride.

Oh, Walter Raleigh--I get it. And do you call him "Sir Walter"? LOL

Let's hear it for FLOR (fat ladies who ride)!

theav - love the pic. Im sure the kids got a big kick out of the ears and Im sure they will love easter eggs, you could get quite a following.

Is that Canberra I can see in the background. Looks like a nice ride you are doing in the photo.

Yep that's Canberra. We were riding to Woden and back that day. That photo is taken on the lake ride - about 18kms round Lake Burley Griffin. I thought we had one with the lake in it... but i couldnt find it. It's such a beautiful ride. I may be biased, but i think all rides in Canberra are beautiful. We have 350km of dedicated bike paths that take you anywhere in the city and suburbs! God i love our bikepaths! Trek, you are gunna have a ball

Hey theav - I have never ridden on a bike path before so it will be a little different. Do others use the bike paths (roller bladers , walkers etc)?
Do many riders just use the road?? This is not illegal in Aust is it?? I know some of the girls here in the USA have mentioned that in their states if there is a bike path you have to use.
